People who wear the Acuvue 2 contact lens, like it because it delivers comfortable vision correction. And doctors must like its performance, because they write more new prescriptions for the lens than any other soft contact lens in the United States. Add in the little or no maintenance of the Acuvue 2 contact lens and it means you can just enjoy wearing it.

The Acuvue 2 contact lens is a frequent replacement type of lens. It's made to be worn for two weeks of daytime use or one week of continuous wear before replacing. If you opt for continuous wear, it means you won't have to clean the lens. But even if worn daily and cleaned at night, you don't have to worry about the long-term buildup of hard-to-clean deposits.

If you've never worn contact lenses before, you may surprised how quickly you get use to them. The Acuvue 2 contact lens is thinner than a human hair and the lens material is soft because it consists mostly of water. In fact, the lens is flexible enough that it can be turned inside out. To warn you of this, the number sequence, "1-2-3" is written on the side of the lens. And by checking the appearance of the sequence before you put the lens in, you'll know if it's okay.

In addition to the regular Acuvue 2 contact lens, there's also Acuvue 2 Colours. This color contact lens comes in two styles. One style of the lens is made to enhance the natural color of light color eyes. The overall tint deepens the eye color but the tint isn't so dark that it colors your sight.

The other style of Acuvue 2 Colours lens is designed to change your eye color. This Acuvue 2 contact lens has a non-transparent tint which completely covers your iris. Only the center of the lens over your pupil is left clear. While Acuvue 2 Colours are available without vision correction, like all contacts, they do require a prescription to make sure you get a proper fit.

The effects of exposure to ultraviolet radiation have become well known. And the Acuvue 2 contact lens has UV protection that blocks most of the radiation from your cornea and eye's interior. To completely cover your eyes, sunglasses are still needed, but the contacts help protect your eye's lens which may reduce your risk for a cataract.
